EMERYVILLE, California, May 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Mobile today announced its MusicID(R) iPhone app has been
released in 90 countries supporting Japanese, French, German and Spanish
languages, and that it has implemented vast speed improvements across the
entire app. The company also announced its app for the U.S. market, MusicID
with Lyrics, has swiftly risen through the ranks and is now the leading paid
music discovery as well as lyrics app in the U.S. iTunes App Store.
Tapping Gracenote(R)'s Global Media Database, the largest and most
comprehensive media database in the world, MusicID with Lyrics allows
consumers to obtain music information by searching artist or track name,
entering a line from the lyrics, or by simply holding their iPhone up to
music playing nearby. Once the artist or track is identified, the magic
begins as the Gravity Mobile service delivers comprehensive information
including lyrics, cover art, biographies, recommendations and links directly
into the iTunes catalog of millions of tracks.
"We are very pleased to be recognized by iPhone and iPod touch users
around the world as providing some of the best music identification and
exploration experiences available today, and are thrilled to now bring those
experiences to the global market," said Noah Hurwitz, co-founder and general
manager, Gravity Mobile. "We believe MusicID is a groundbreaking music
discovery resource for music fans that will continue to allow them to enjoy
content in ways they have never been able to before."
